If you have a vague idea of what you want to do then take classes in that area. What do you like computers (comp sci), cars (engineering), houses (archeticture), science , business, advertising, music. Follow your interest not just what makes bank. If you do what you love you are more likely to be successfull and happy.

 

If you have a keen interest in something, then that's what you should do. Nothing beats actually doing something that you enjoy for a living.

But if you're not particularly interested in any subjects and just want to make money, then major in business and never look back. Business Economics, Economics, and Finance would be my personal picks, in that order.

I'd personally not recommend going into medicine, pharmacology, PhD programs, and so forth if your goal is to make money. Yes, you'll make decent money coming out, but there are easier and faster ways of making the same money in business.

I got my undergrad degree in biochem and currently work in computer software. Like many other science and engineering students, I spent my undergrad years looking down on "dumb" business majors. Well, all I can say after a few years of working is that as far as making money is concerned, those "dumb" business majors had it right all along. I've since gone on to get a MBA in the hopes of joining them.

 

Oh yeah, this isn't a major, but for a career, I'd have to say that good salespeople at good companies make the most ridiculous money, bar none. Good part is that if you can sell, nobody is going to care what you majored in. So, no matter what you decide now, there's always that option.

This is wrong. You graduate with a PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy), a PhD is totally different.

 

I worked as a mortgage securities analyst at PIMCO for five years. PIMCO has a number of employees known as financial analysts; these are the people who, for example, create computer models to estimate the value of complex securities. Most of their financial analysts have degrees in mathematics or physics; hence, my original suggestions.

 

My apologies, I had heard it both ways.

 

You could go pre-med..
